Hey :)
My name is Maria and I am a student at the Philipps-University in Marburg where I am studying Neurosciences. I would describe myself as a friendly and open minded person that can also be funny sometimes, at least I hope. I love to travel, meet new people and see other cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my travels through different countries I used couchsurfing to find a place to stay or just to meet other people. It helped me a lot to meet locals and make new friends.
Now being home, I would like to help other people as well to find a place to stay or to show them a bit around. I am also trying to integrate a more or less regulary CS Meetup in Magdeburg to give people here a chance to meet others and maybe make friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I really enjoyed to live in a car during my travel through new zealand with a friend because it showed me that i really don't need a lot of things to have a great life and it was interesting to just drive wherever you whenever you want. It was also pretty nice to have your bed always with you in case you want to take a spontaneous nap.

I also did a bungee jumo which was probably one of the craziest things I have done so far and I will not forget.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you a lot of fascinating facts about the brain which are not very helpful but can be quite interesting. Also I really enjoy to cook and would be interested in cooking together.
